Speed up Windows 7 tweaks - Taskbar Thumbnail Preview

Here is another speed up tweak for Windows 7. By default Windows 7 task bar thumbnail preview gets delay of about 400ms. This guide shows you how to remove that delay and faster load the thumbnail previews of task bar. This process is same as the one we published previously in speed up of Windows XP start menu, that requires you to works with Windows registry.

Step 01
Press WinKey+R, to run a program and type regedit to run Registry Editor.

Step 02
In the Windows Registry navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse on the left hand side and after double click on MouseHoverTime in right hand side.

Step 03
In the 'Edit String' message box, enter the preferred delay at the 'Value data' field. You can set it as 10 or 0. then Click OK and exit the registry editor.

Please restart the computer to see the results.

Microsoft Live Search turned in to Bing

Microsoft corporation's presence on the search engine arena the 'Live Search Engine' changed it's look and search techniques and brought up as 'Bing Search Engine'. Microsoft claims that Bing is equiped with more functions such as Microsoft's cash-back search rewards program and links to pages for developers and Webmasters.

Microsoft says that the present Online search engine mostly delivers web pages that are not relevant to the content user looking for. (Yes this quote is almost true.)
Here what Microsoft says "
Bing organizes search results so you can quickly and easily locate the content that matters most. And Bing helps you harness that information through exclusive tools specific to your key tasks, leading to more-informed decisions. Put simply, Bing is a first-of-its-kind decision engine." Behind Bling

It seems that Microsft's Bing is really attempting to provide the search content to point. Because now when you search for a term on the Bing, It displays the text content of the targeted page when you hover on each search result.

Microsoft targets to attract a good amount of present Google searches with their new technology and this seems Google have to face a some amount of competition in near future.

ReadeyBoot and ReadyBoost
ReadyBoot is a tool designed to analyze the boot processes and it allocates additional random access memory (RAM) to optimize the process. ReadyBoost is also available to the ReadyBoot feature when actual system RAM is in short supply. ReadyBoot will then pull the needed RAM from a USB 2.0 flash drive.

the second thing is simply use readyboot with a good clean usb stick, fastest way is to have the usb formatted as ntfs. also a tip, if you think you need the fast boot times and don't have a proper usb stick, pay close attention to read and write speeds when you buy one, a label "readyboost ready" doesn't make it a fast usb stick. values over 20MB/s make it a fast stick.
